In the case of the asylum seeker Oury Jalloh, who burned to death in a police cell in 2005, the Federal Constitutional Court did not accept a complaint by his brother against the cessation of the investigation.
Although the man is entitled to effective criminal prosecution, the highest German court announced on Thursday in Karlsruhe. However, the decision of the Naumburg Higher Regional Court of October 22, 2019 takes this sufficiently into account. This had confirmed the setting.
More than 18 years ago, the man from West Africa died tied up on a mattress in the cell in Dessau in Saxony-Anhalt. The circumstances of death are considered unsolved even after two regional court processes. (dpa)
